Stay Tuned Please...Randoms and Some Photos

Yes, I have been a bad blogger this past few weeks. But can ya blame me? A newborn, recovering, taking care of 3 very active 13 month olds and packing the entire house for our move this past weekend?!


Needless to say, it's been a crazy and hectic few weeks and I am so glad to be settling in to the new house!!!!


So thankful to have an awesome hubby, a great extended family and lots of wonderful friends that have been helping us out sooo much! I don't know what we would do without any of them! What a blessing each of them are...and you know who you are! I can't thank everyone enough for all the help this past weekend!


I don't think I have picked up my camera much in the past week, which is totally horrible, but I promise to get some photos of everyone and the new house, which has been painted in some parts. The girl's rooms look amazing, painted by their grandpa and auntie. Their bathroom looks great too, painted by Daddy! And Uncle Nate painted our master bathroom and Tim painted one of the downstairs bathrooms....so it was quite the painting party last weekend! It's hard for me to take photos when everything isn't perfect...LOL! I am trying to control my OCD to just "let things be" and be okay with everything on the wall and perfect in every corner. I am only giving myself a few weeks to get everything done! And trust me I will!


Oh and we haven't had snow since the weekend before Halloween, and of course Friday night and Saturday during our move it snowed/rained/was extremely windy and was FREEZING....lovely right, and it made for a bunch of mud! Yuck!


And Natalee had a fever all day on Saturday and she still isn't quite right. Thinking once again, she is starting to get an ear infection! Ugh! We're suppose to go get an ear check/shots/weight check for Em on Wednesday, but that might not happen if she is sick!


I started drinking coffee again after months and months of not drinking any and even though the first days were a little hard on my stomach, I am loving it once again!


Anyway, so stay tuned, I have a lot of posts that are started and maybe I will have time to finish everything sometime soon!


Here is our last bath in our old tub:


Reading our books! They love to jabber and read to each other, turning the pages...it's so cute!





For now here is a little update on Emily:


She is exclusively breast-feeding great and last Thursday at her 2 week check-up she was exactly 8lbs! Still a little peanut! She is sleeping from about 9pm to 4am, eating at 4am and then sleeping until 9am. I cannot thank her enough because it has helped me so much, especially since we have been so busy and so tired. She really is such an easy baby! And, she totally looks completely different than the other girls. She has Madelynn and Claire's skin color and I think Natalee's darker hair but I really think she looks just like I did when I was born. I'll have to post of photo of Tim and I as babys and see wehat ya'll think! I would say she looks the most like Madelynn and of course everyone says, well then she must look like Claire too, but Tim and I always thought they looked different even from birth. Months vary, they look alike some and then don't for some. We shall see as time goes on, but I am just thankful for a cute little peanut. I will save all my mushy stuff for another post!


Last Sunday I took a few photos of her:









Love those chubby little cheeks!

  1. God bless Emily! She is just beautiful! I think she favors her Mommy, and her face seems to be shaped like Natalee's. She is just a perfect baby girl, and looks just like Emily June, exactly as it should be! All of your girls are beautiful and precious in every sense of the word. I don't blame you for loving those chubby cheeks, I could just eat her up, so sweet!

  2. I'm SO glad she's such an easy baby for you! It definitely makes breastfeeding and taking care of siblings easier on you when they're like that. And WOW, such a great sleeper already!!

  6. I'm so glad y'all are doing well! You sound like you're sleeping as much, if not more, than me, with a one year old! I'm SO happy for y'all and can't wait to see lots more!
